Norwich rewards those who look closely. Walk past the chequered flint of the Guildhall, wander Elm Hill's cobbled streets, or catch a performance at the Theatre Royal, there's real depth here, layers of medieval history and community life in places like Watton and Castle Mall.
The issue: great events often happen quietly. A new café on St Benedicts Street, a market event, a community project, they get lost in the noise. Social media overwhelms the signal.
That's what The City Brief does. We filter the city down to what matters to you each week, no scrolling, no guesswork, just the best of Norwich delivered straight to your inbox. Local knowledge, simplified.
